You wanted physics? Let's do some physics. cnn.com Look at the jet/cruise missile in there and the building it is heading for. The jet/cruise tail measures about 1 mm high in the photo (on my screen; your mileage may vary). The building at its distance is about 2 mm. The Pentagon is 5 stories high.

A cruise missile tail is only 12 feet high. boeing.com A 757 tail is 44 feet high. boeing.com Next.
